California Fish Grill

Nestled on East Foothill Boulevard in the vibrant Pasadena district, California Fish Grill offers a relaxed coastal kitchen where fresh, responsibly sourced seafood meets bold Mediterranean flavors. The airy dining room features nautical wood accents, large windows overlooking the bustling street, and an open grill that lets diners watch chefs sear branzino, shrimp, and rockfish to perfection. Signature dishes include the Mediterranean Branzino Plate—crispy skin, lemon‑herb drizzle, and a side of seasonal vegetables—plus the Mediterranean Shrimp Wrap, a warm tortilla filled with marinated shrimp, crisp lettuce, and a tangy yogurt sauce. Chef Louie Jocson’s Simply Graded Rockfish delivers a smoky, buttery bite that has become a local favorite. Health‑conscious guests enjoy the Coastal Power Bowl, packed with quinoa, grilled fish, avocado, and a citrus vinaigrette, while the New Protein Bowls offer customizable options for vegans and meat‑eaters alike. Open daily from 11 am to 9 pm, the menu ranges from $12 to $22, making it ideal for families, couples, and quick lunches. The restaurant sits steps from the historic Pasadena Playhouse, a short walk to Old Town Pasadena’s boutiques, and close to the Pasadena City College campus, providing a convenient stop for shoppers and students. Free Wi‑Fi, a kids‑friendly atmosphere, and a commitment to sustainability round out the experience. Whether you’re grabbing a take‑out bowl on the go or enjoying a sit‑down meal, California Fish Grill blends California sunshine with global seafood inspiration.
